I finally got a new PRINTER! I’m pretty stoked about it (this excitement over a printer is adulting at it’s finest, folks!). But my main reason for sharing (even though I really do love this new machine and want to shout it from the rooftops) is I know the question of “what printer should I get” comes up A LOT in this calling.

My HP printer, I bought at Costco, after 10 years finally bit the dust! It wasn’t printing straight and I’d cringe whenever a project would come up that needed a decent print job. I think I have a 1-year old to also thank in assisting in its {somewhat} untimely death. It’s been a great printer and has dealt with my many printing demands (singing time and non-singing time) over the last decade.



So my husband set to the task of finding me a new printer. He purchases all of the computers and accessories at work so he’s pretty in-the-know as to what’s a good printer (although, I did have to fill him in on what HP Instant Ink was). I think HP Instant Ink is marketed more for home-based printing needs and my husband is more aware of what’s great for an office, hence the more office-geared printer purchase}.

Hey camille!
Hey Camille,
I was wondering how often you’ve found that you need to replace the toner for this printer? And are you able to use another brands of toner, generic brand, to save a little on toner when you have replaced it? Or is using anything but brother toner not even an option?
Hi Katie!
I print a lot and I really don’t have to replace the toner cartridge that often. I’ve had the printer a few years and only replaced each cartridge once (maybe the black one twice). I’ve never looked into generic brands and only purchased the Brother brand so I’m not much help there. Good luck!

Thanks for your printer recommendation! Does it do ok printing on cardstock? I replaced my old, but trusty printer last year and I have regretted it ever since. My new printer can NOT handle cardstock, no matter what I try.
Hi Jill!
It does great with card stock! I print TONS on card stock and have never had a problem. Good luck!
